The suit against the Chicago Gas Trust has
brought to light some instructive "6nancier-

pany, constituent member of the Trust, has
for forty years, shown by its books, been a
prosperous corporation. Now, six months
after joining the Trust, and in despite OF no
diminution of its earning capacity, it is sud
denly become insolvent. Regular dividends
had been paid up to and including the one
for January last, and the books show that
the net earnings for the first nine months of
the current year were sufficient to pay ten
per cent. annual dividend. But in July the
regular dividend was passed and the state
ment for September shows that the company
has suddenly become unable to pay it's debts
The liabilities have been raised from less
than s., 100000 to almost $13, ,OOO,0 900. This
has been done by little band of speeulators
who, having formed the Trust and gained
control of the stock, proceeded to oust the
old directors, exploit the resources of the
company and line their own pockets. Now
one of them turns up as the holder of $14,-

stock of $25, 100000 Meanwhile the arbi-

PEARL OYSTERS,

How They Produce the Treasures
They Contain.
The business Of getting the pearls out of
oysters is tolerably disagreeable one. The
oysters thrown into large vessels and left
| to die, when the shells open of their own ac
cord. The shells are then removed, but the
oysters themselves are left in buckets till
they become deeomposed, when they are
well stirred. The pearls sink to the bottom
and the remainder is poured off. 1t may be
readily inferred that the odor in the camp of
pearl seekers is more powerful than pleasant.
The pearl has it's origin in the efforts of
the oyster to protect itself from the irrita-
tion caused by the presence of some foreign
body between the shell and it's mantle, as
the soft skin of the oyster is technically
termed. To mitigate the suffering caused
| by this vexatious intruder the oyster de-
posits thereon a coating of the same mate
rial as that of which the shell is composed,
and when once this process has begun it con-
tinues, till in time the pearl grows large
enough to kill the oyster.
To the fanciful minds of Oriental nations
no such crude explanation has ever occurred,
and they still attribute to pearls much more
poetic origin. The oysters they say rise by
night to the surface of the water, and open
ing their shells, receive therein single drop
of dew. This in time becomes pearl, and
| if the dew has been pure and clear the pearl
| will be beautiful one, but if the drop of
| dew has been soiled with impurities then the
pearl will be opaque and of no value.
Linneus, the ''father of naturalists," re-
ceived the honor of knighthood for demon
| strating the possibility of CRITICALLY indu-
cling the formation of pearls in the pearl
| bearing mussel. But, as has been the case
with other European inventions of which we
| have thought good deal, it has since
turned out that John Chinaman has been
| doing this thing for a couple of thousand
years or 80. The Chinese method is to take
| the mussel from the river, carefully force the
shells little way apart, and insert between
the mantle of the oyster and one Of the
shells few little pellets of clay, tiny pearls
or foreign bodies of some kind When this
has been done the oyster is turned over, and
| the poor fellow is obliged to submit to sim
| liar uncomfortable process on his other side.
| He is then put back into pond, where he is
kept we'll and fat by diet more nourishing
than nice. After a few months, or some
| times year or two, he is again taken from
| his bed, his pearls are taken out and he is
eaten

WILL 1T PAY Z

Edward Atkinson's proposition to settle
our fisheries troubles by the purchase of
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island continues to be more or less
seriously discussed The Bridgeport Stan
dard makes good point in favor of purchase
when it says: The United States has made
many annexations of territory by purchase,
and, like most holders of real estate in a
young and growing country, where values
are rising and property is being Improved, ~
government has made a good thing with
eve.y such investment Who would deed
back to the French the empire purchased of
Napoleon Bonaparte, first consul, in 1903 for
$11 $50, ,000a The appreciation in the value
of that property is something which puts to
shame the widest f'wild cat" stories of min
ing property, even in the palmy days of the
greatest development known. The railroads
of Louisiana alone are capitalized at nearly
500, 900, 900 to day. and her assessed valuation
for State taxation, at low average, is nearly
$500, 900. Alaska, purchased with some
of our superfuous Millions and supposed to
produce .only icebergs and polar bears, has
increased on the hands" of the government
till double her purchase price could be taken
for her from several other thrifty nations.
The matter has also attracted good deal
of attention over the border. One of the
leading journals of New Brunswick puts the
case in this way: Our share of the expenses
of the States for national purposes, at the
present rate-including the reduction of the
United States debt-would be only $5 or So
e
rapidly growing less as the debt is paid,
while there can be no question that the
United States revenue will shortly be reduced
to as low as 81 per head. We should hardly
feel this contribution because of increased
prosperity, while by paying that sum per
head we should soon reimburse the States for
the money spent to enable us to go in with
them free of debt.
All of which is interesting, if it doesn't
seem very important just now. And perhaps
if it is found that it will pay both sides to
trade the trade may yet be made.

The London Riots.


If the unemployed desire employment
from the State they must ask the workmen
for it, not the rich, for the workmen are
twenty to one, and the sovereignty of the
State has been transferred to numbers. If
all the rich combined they could not give
the 'poo1" one penny from the State treas
ury without the workmen's consent; while,
if the workmen chose, the latter could give
all that there is in it. There is nothing
whatever to prevent the workmen, if they
please, from ordering the government or
the local authorities to grant outdoor re-
lief on demand, or to provide light work
for every man who wishes it, or to tax
every man with half crown in order that
his neighbor should be presented with if
teen pence. They would probably ruin the
State by the order and certainly ruin them
selves; but still they can give it, and what is
more to the purpose, nobody else can. All
ultimate power is in their hands, and we

leave, ordering a distribution which would
raise the rates to ten shillings in the pound.
We should know then, and probably the

the well-to-do held all substantive power, to
hold them responsible for the misery of the
ill-to-do; but to hold them responsible now,
when they are as powerless as mice, and see
everything going way they disapprove, is
not only unjust, but absurd. IF the wealthy
were all in Trafalgar Square tomorrow,
with poor mans hand at each rich mans
throat, they could not raise rates by one si1-
pence, or impose tax of one penny in the
pound without the workingmen's consent.

We think they are sinoere-that is those

not simply hate the police because the police
take them up-and it is this which gives us
such a sense almost of despair. 1t is of no
use abusing the roughs and hobbledehoys
and criminals who avail themselves of the
cry of the poor to beat policemen into hos

kind of rioter must be suppressed by the po-
lice in the interest of the workers, the police

soon as he had to choose between them and
the machinists of his own party, he cast
them out, and they will stay out until after

profits in more English bonds. The Peters
pence is now said to amount to about $415,-

the English bonds goes to pay 5000 year
to each cardinal living in Rome and to pay
the prelates of the papal court. secretaries,
nuncios, guards and other papal servants
Besides this the Pope receives from the apos-

papal decorations, benedictions in the article
of death, privileges of the altar, private
chapels, dispensations and other things, the
total amount being, it is said, $500, geo a

Such a conviction was forced. prob
ably. upon the minds of most persons

short of the gibbet. 1t is odd. then.
that where there was such unanimity
of conclusion as to the guilt of the
accused and q sentence which
might be regarded as merciful
under the circumstances. any sug-
gestion should be offered that the
punishment named by the jury is ex-
treme. The prisoners are entitled to
the usual review, but upon the finding
Of their guilt, finding generally con-
coded to accord with the fact, they are
entitled to no consideration whatever.
If guilty, they may thank their stars
that the jury has been so lenient as to
give them life sentence.
The case seems to have been fairly
tried. The State was Jealous and indie
fatigable. The defense was the strong
est that could be made. 1t is highly
improbable that the jury has erred. To
seek sympathy for the prisoners while
admitting their guilt is ridiculous. In
the horrible crime there wasn't single
